A commission that declared a president but never declared the regions has not sat since September. Commissioner Vincent Alexander now says the Chair's silence is grounds for her removal.
GEORGETOWN, Guyana, August 9, 2026 - Eleven months. That is how long the Guyana Elections Commission has gone without convening a meeting. Its last sitting was on 7 September 2025 — the small hours in which it declared the People's Progressive Party/Civic the winner of the 1 September general and regional elections and Irfaan Ali the elected President. According to Commissioner Vincent Alexander, that sitting did only half of what the law demanded of it, and nothing has been done since to finish the job.
